Bombora will actually be Lagoon's 9th Roller Coaster.

Sage did an AWESOME Job with that article! I'm glad everyone else get's to read about everything you guys went through to get Cowabunga Built! We should make this article Mandatory Reading for all New Hires.

I don't see how there could be any part of that Coaster that could not be Fabricated, Constructed, or Machined by several companies. P.S. - Shane, Please Purchase Greezed Lightnin' Already for Cowabunga Bay. Thank You!

Larry, Lagoon has announced "Bombora" as the Name of their 2011 Family Coaster on their website. Link: LagoonPark.com - Sid

With LSMs and a Flywheel Inverter, it wouldn't take that much power.

Apparently you haven't been around any of the people who actually build these rides! - linearinduction

Larry, Sky Scraper at Lagoon is the name of the Ferris Wheel.

Jordan, Thanks for the Photo of Locomotive No. 12 on the Kings Island and Miami Valley Railroad, however, my 20 pics are from a better angle. So which Junior Hang N Bang was better Jordan, Lagoon's or Kings Island's? rcg19, when did you visit Lagoon this Summer and why didn't Jordan put you in touch with me? - linearinduction

Wicked launches at about the same speed and is super quiet, except for the sound effects in the Launch Tunnel. I have to say that I'm surprised the Accent isn't 90 Degrees and that the Drop isn't 90 Degrees for very long. I was kinda hoping there would be air time on the Top of the Tower/Top Hat like there is on Wicked, however, I would have killed for a Corkscrew on Wicked.

Great Job Jordan! I can't wait to see the next phase! - Sid

I guess you don't consider Wicked at Lagoon a Big Coaster? - Sid

^ There was water under the Turn Around to the Lift? Man, I wish I could have seen that! - Sid

The Disney Movie "Luck of the Irish" was Filmed at Lagoon and Featured Samurai, Sky Scraper, and Paratroopers. In the Chase Scene around the park you can also see Rocket. - Sid

Dude, thanks for rubbing it in that Cowabunga Bay is the only Park in the Company that does not have Pepsi! lol However, we do have Vault, unless I convince someone to switch it to Cherry Coke. - Sid

There's always the Cowabunga Bay Thread. I took a crap load of photos that are posted on LagoonisFun.com as well. - Sid

I would hope Montezuma has heard of the Family Fun Center and Bullwinkle's Restaurants in Tukwila, WA, and Wilsonville, OR, considering him and his Family Built and own them, along with Cowabunga Bay Water Park in Draper, UT. - Sid Cowabunga Bay Water Park Parking Lot Supervisor

Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about! btw, you never answered my questions about your SFoT Trip about the whereabouts of the First Born Son and if Sage went on the coasters Willingly! I LOVE the Commercials! Definitely going to grab people's attention! Now we just need an Electronic Billboard to play them on! - Sid

I don't know how he could manage that considering a Tube would not fit down any slide the night CB Closed for the Season...Male Centerfold Lifeguards, nuff said! - Sid

I have two questions about SFoT Shane....Where was your First Born and Did Sage go willingly? - Sid

It's on the Lagoon Interactive Fountain at Lagoon Park in Farmington, Utah?

Finally found my photo of Lagoon's On Board Lap Bar Safety System installed on Roller Coaster! Roller Coaster Safety System

The Fountains of Bellagio are broken into Several Sections about 20 Feet Long that can each be Raised Above the Water Line and have a Platform. I've personally seen a section raised about 6" above the waterline and Divers and Technicians working on it. After about an hour, they lowered it and tested each Nozzle and Laminar, before lowering the section and running that section through it's choreography. WET Design does indeed manufacture their own Nozzles and Luminars, as does many other Companies. The Lagoon Memorial Interactive Fountain at Lagoon Park in Farmington, Utah, is a Great Example of a Project that involved several Different Companies. The Interactive Water Feature was Designed and Constructed by Lagoon, WET Design, VCBC, CEM, and Water Design, Inc., with a Show Control System by Crystal Fountains, Inc. It's entirely possible that WDI Contracted with both WET Design, The Fountain People, and possibly others to Design and Construct World of Color. Crap! I Don't know how to re-size this image. Sorry Mods. Lagoon Interactive Fountain

Thanks for the Info Coasterlvr_nc and Joey! The woodies at Holiday World actually have a system built in. You can see the display on the control panel (specifically on Raven, since it's right next to the back row) show messages like "Lap bars not secured, car 4." This would also explain the metal contacts on the bottom of the car frame seen here: http://rcdb.com/3231.htm?p=15974. Also while I was waiting for Voyage one time, it would not let the operators dispatch because there was an issue with the sensor on one of the cars. Those contacts are exactly the same as those on Roller Coaster at Lagoon. There are also contacts in the Track as well. I believe the system at Lagoon is more of a "lap bar position indicator" system with the lights on the back of each car because they often dispatch empty rows with lap bars up. Are there lights on the back of each Coaster Car at Holiday World or is it just on the PLC Display? - Sid

I've got my fingers crossed for you Jordan! I hope I get promoted to a Sup as well, at Cowabunga Bay this Summer. *cough* Shane! *cough* - Sid

The Trains on Canyon Blaster are the same style as those used on Drachen Fire and I believe another Arrow Coaster in Japan? Speaking of Canyon Blaster's Trains, have both of them been repainted from the color shifting Teal/Purple to this Lime Green? It wasn't just a "Pay to Enter" Park when it opened, but each ride also required "Points" on the Ticket you had to Purchase. My family visited shortly after Grand Slam Canyon opened and both Rim Runner and Canyon Blaster were running with all Boats and Both Trains. We waited 45 Minutes in a Line to Purchase our Wristband to enter the park and Point Tickets. Later, we had to wait in another 30 minute line to purchase more Points to be added to our tickets to ride Canyon Blaster more. It was a Pain in the Butt! - Sid
